Learn how to pick the right faceplate and mounting screws for your August smart lock, with clear decision rules and trade-offs.
Quick Answer
Choose a faceplate that matches your lock generation and finish, and use only the correct mounting screws to keep your August smart lock secure and looking clean.
Why Faceplate Compatibility Matters
Faceplates are not one-size-fits-all. The August Wi-Fi Smart Lock uses a different faceplate than the August Smart Lock (2nd Gen) or August Smart Lock Pro (3rd Gen). Using the wrong faceplate can leave gaps or prevent the lock from closing properly.
Before ordering, check the back of your lock or the original packaging for the model and generation. If you are unsure, contact August support with your lock's serial number.
Screw Sizes Are Not Interchangeable
Mounting screws are specific to the part they hold. The August Smart Keypad Mounting Screws attach the keypad's mounting plate, not the lock itself. Using screws from another device may strip threads or fail to hold.
If you lose a screw, order the correct replacement rather than improvising. A loose keypad can fall or misalign, affecting entry.
Decision Rules for Choosing Faceplates and Screws
- Identify your lock model: Check the lock's model and generation. Faceplates for August Wi-Fi Smart Lock are not compatible with August Smart Lock (2nd Gen) or Pro (3rd Gen). If you have an August Wi-Fi Smart Lock, choose the Silver Faceplate for August Wi-Fi Smart Lock. For older models, choose the compatible Silver or Dark Gray Faceplate.
Silver Faceplate 
Dark Gray Faceplate - Match the finish: Choose silver for a classic look that matches most deadbolts, or dark gray for a more modern, darker aesthetic. Both are available, but ensure the faceplate is designed for your lock generation. Confirm the finish matches your door hardware before ordering.
- Replace screws only with correct parts: If you need screws for your August Smart Keypad, order the August Smart Keypad Mounting Screws. Do not substitute screws from other devices, as they may not fit or hold properly. Keep spare screws on hand to avoid downtime.
